Croft and Beer said: "As mums we know how difficult it can be to juggle everything but if you find time to do one thing this September we’d urge you to make it a Yummy Mummy event".
During the week mums will be hosting a variety of fundraising events, ranging from coffee mornings and family BBQs to pampering nights.
